    I hated the windshield put on a honda line windshield, I change the brake pedal show Chrome, I change the shifter to kuryakyn - raised back rest
    Added a go cruise -kuryakyn highway pegs - kuryakyn risers and I'm ordering a drivers backrest.
    I gutted the muffler tips an drilled 7 - 1/2 holes in the muffler - I like the sound It don't even care if anybody else does

    Doug, the handlebars on this bike are adjustable. There are many ways to adjust them.

    Let's see...three best and three worst things...OK, I'll play

    Best thing: The power and smoothness

    Worst thing: The paint on the side panels scratches from even being touched. This is a problem when you do things like check oil, maintain battery, etc.

    Best thing: The handling. The low CG makes it feel like a much lighter bike than it actually is. It's a joy to ride.

    Worst thing: The paint on the saddlebags. You have to touch them to close them, and they wind up with tons of surface scratches, some of which are impossible to get out.

    Best thing: The look. What a beautiful bike!

    Worst thing. The paint overall, and the treatment I'm getting from my local dealer (Honda Powersports of Marysville, Oh). It's a constant runaround. I've taken the bike in multiple times, and get everything from "we really don't see a problem" to "we can't help you without a case number from Honda."

    Likes:
    Power, smooth and endless
    Handling, excellent, like a slightly overweight sport bike. Maybe I'm the only thing that's slightly overweight
    No doubt, the looks are killer (windshield included). Can't count the number of compliments I've received.

    Don't particularly like:
    Rear brake. It could be me, but depending on how applied, the rear isn't as consistent as the front brake
    Almost too quiet... What? I can pull into my parking lot at work and without trying to, sneak up on people when I'm parking
    The windshield. I know, it's part of the allure, but not pleasant on longer rides.

    I would have to say that there is something wrong with your one particular bike, if you are killing your pegs and belly pan. Mine has over 7000 miles on it now, and I have not scraped my pegs once, and have not even scratched my belly pan. What are you running over ?

    I agree!!! I don't have as many miles on my bike as Miles does but I have only scraped a peg once.
